    At my previous major travel company, I had the opportunity to take care of Japanese expatriates and corporate clients in South America. With the generous cooperation of members of the Nikkei community, I learned about the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging these countries really are. This insight motivated me to venture out on my own, determined to provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service that Japanese clients expect. Drawing on nearly ten years of experience in the Brazilian travel industry, I continue to study diligently every day with the aim of becoming the only local operator capable of offering clear proposals and explanations about the often perplexing local realities—even in regions that are extremely distant from Japan.

    In my previous role at a major travel company, I assisted Japanese expatriates and companies in South America.
    With the cooperation of many people from the Japanese community, I learned the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging the country was, which inspired me to start a business that could provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service demanded by Japanese people.
    With over 10 years of experience in the travel industry in Brazil, I aim to be the only local operator capable of clearly proposing and explaining the intricacies of distant destinations from Japan, and I continue to study daily.
